Trying to Keep a Positive Mind!

             I know YouTube has become our entire world when it comes streaming and podcasting and I know I may feel a little overwhelmed but I was just doing fine in February/March but I let one person ruin it cause they constantly harassed me and Kels and I tried to help them. However this is a new start for us and I think I'm going to just focus on the streaming part instead of both videos and streaming so the video tab will more than likely not be there. 

            This is not about the channels but this is about me keeping a positive mind when it comes to getting things done and this is when creating lists what need to be done and why Monday I was watching the eclipse from inside via the computer monitor. I wanted to stay home and I was going to get the work done being home all day long regardless. However getting work done I have to stay positive and I want to start using affirmations for myself or even positive thoughts. Have to stay positive through all the long hours I put in for the podcasts that we put out there and I know with Kelsie's help we will most definitely get it done. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow for another blog post!

I LEARNED communication is key!

            Last week I learned the hard truth that I felt like I just wasted my time mentoring someone to get their podcast up and running. However that blew up especially on the Discord community I have. Maybe this was an entire sign for me that it should just remained Kelsie, Larry and I perhaps? Maybe I grew CBOTW too fast once again perhaps. I don't think that was the case though, the point is I think this is a learning experience for me. What do I mean by this? I mean, yes I have been trying to communicate and this is something the remaining team I have to work on is communication a bit more. This is where being a Transformational Leader comes into play and I need to start working on communicating.

                  Do not forget it's just not me but it is also with the other party and they have to in return. Last week's incident has really inspired me to keep on improving things with ChrisBOnTheWeb and I have really come a long way since the start of August so it has shown and just going to keep on going. I am not going to let this bring down the positive vibes of the team and I am about the positive vibes not negativity and I have started to become a more positive and happy person. Anyways that is the post for today, I will speak to you all tomorrow.

I'm Staying Positive!

             As you know I have been working on notes non stop and tomorrow being the day of recording, I am staying positivie through all of this. I do have a plan and if worse comes to worse, we will be recording at least 1. Here is the plan for right now:

PLAN A (Original Plan): Record both Ninja Steel and Super Ninja Steel as normally and if this is if I make a real dent as I went to bed early to try and get a really big dent into the notes

PLAN B: Just record the 1 episode, Ninja Steel and push it till the 29th of this month at this point. 

Plan Moving Forward: If we do the one episode this week the plan in 2 weeks is to try and record Super Ninja Steel and Beast Morphers, Season 1 & 2 if we can if humanly possible this could possibly put us back on schedule again. 

               So I am always reinventing and trying to figure things out and try and compromise things even if crap hits the fan especially with not getting notes done. I tried to sacrifice sleep and that didn't work, so I sleep when I need to sleep then work, if I get it done, I get it done right? Anyways I will talk to you all tomorrow for another post.

Gotta Work With What I Have!

               I know I keep saying I need a computer and till I am able to afford one, I am just going to have to limit what I can and cannot play on the game, like Fornite, Minecraft, The Binding of Isaac, Pooligans, etc. Also I have to try and keep the computer as speedy for podcasting as the other night I was having first night back tech issues as the gremlins in the machine returned. LOL. Yeah I poke fun at myself quite a lot and make fun of my computer but remember the computer cannot think what I am thinking technically. It's an inanament object, it's machine, it does what you need on a regular basis. Also if you think about it for a 7 - 8 year old computer, she's done a heck a lot for me over the years from blogging, site stuff to podcasting to stream. You can not say this computer has gone unused, she's been highly utilized. 

            You never know I could use it for a second setup perhaps? I will keep this tower if I really need to and if my niece and nephew want it they can have it but I will wipe it clean once I got the new system.  Right now I continue to use this old girl and try and speed up the PC as much as I can in the meantime. Just try and deal with it and if some games are slower on this computer then I will just not play them for the time being. I have em on steam and the next computer is actually going to be not just for my work but also used for gaming as well. That is my post for today I hope you guys enjoyed this post and have a great rest of your Tuesday and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Lots of Positive Feedback for the CBOTW Community

               This is why I love this community such a positive feedback with the community recently, especially when it comes to the Community Lounge that you guys have had for the past week and a half and I am so glad it came back as there has been a lot of great feedback and questions. Yeah there has been that one troll coming after me when I wasn't even paying attention to the chatroom on the website half the time as I have been swamped with notes and podcast stuff lately but as I have admitted on Twitter I do ghost or lurk the website Community Lounge most of the time, I am just not logged in. However I see the love and support you guys are giving me  That is besides the point but I love the feedback not just seeing messages in the chat but also social media and love hearing such positive feedback.

                You guys help me out with any of the changes that needs to be done especially when it comes to the website and we hear you and will fix the bugs within the website as recently we had to push an update for the "Everything About Reality TV" Podcast page. Charlotte found a bug within the code on the website Archives for that Podcast. This is why I love the community and I know you complain something is "broken" and we will get to it as we have so many other projects on the go right now but we hear you and we also make a list of things we have to "fix" within the website. There will always be some kind of bug within the website and we will get to it and suggestion is to send us a screenshot of the issue so we know what the issue is. However, Billy, Larry, Charlotte and I thank you for the continuous support and keeping your suggestions, ideas and questions in a positive matter and this is what we want is a positive, clean website.

It's All About Me Staying Positive!

             Going through all this stuff with all that is going on outside world and being stuck in the house 24-7 and not taking the risk of going out and about minus my front yard or backyard which is more then likely safer then going out in the public. Anyways, I have to remain optimistic and positive and I haven't been even with CBOTW, I have found myself to struggle at time with things around the studio here but now have been productive around the studio and been binge watching episodes of Reality TV, playing catching up on things and already can say I have been recording and editing and getting things done. Just gotta remain positive and keep busy and that is what I am doing as today I am back to recording 2 more episodes of the podcast so I am not bored with my time really, I am staying very busy, staying positive and that is the most important thing too. The fact I have been busy with unpacking stuff, recording, writing these posts every second day and yea I know it's a bit off for now till the podcast is up to speed with things.


               There is definitely no time for being negative right now, just gotta keep myself busy despite sleep is messed up, I have to just deal with it. There is a lot of faults that I probably need to correct myself on recently and I think as well I need to actually show some patience and that has been one of my major downfalls recently and that I need to actually improve this and it won't happen overnight but in time it will definitely will in time. As long as I said I am keeping busy I should be fine. Honestly right now, I do feel very content with things at the moment. I am hanging in there and trying staying positive and I realize some days are better then others but we all have a bad day here and there and we are only human. I know, I know, I'm rambling and I find doing these posts actually help with my struggles and I really wanna get back to everyday posts but a week Sunday we will be back to normal posts as I should be back on the straight and arrow of things with podcast content and hopefully back to Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast prep again. What I am trying to say is this is a good coping mechanism but cannot always talk about this and trying to change things around if I really have to.

I Am Feeling Alot Better!

               Lately I have been feeling depressed and some of it has to do with some of things that I have had to deal with lately which I am not going into any detail whatsoever about it. However, I have noticed since making changes in my life and getting rid of the negativity around me in my life, I have felt a ton better. Just been a ton more productive in the last month then ever. I have worked so hard on the podcasts and collaboration Podcast. I have actually worked on things and honestly it has kept me busy and not thinking the fact that I am depressed. Honestly I also found going out and about really keeps my mind off of things and fresh air is definitely a good thing. I can use yesterday for example. I went out and about not once but twice I was out and I will explain this. I had to run errands for today, let's put it lightly I had to refill my Presto card so I can travel on the GO Train today on my journey to Toronto with my dad. Also I decided to grab a Ice Cap on the way to the bus and it is nice to reward myself too. Now the second time after I got home and got some work done I took  an hour or so to myself to just take a mental break from things. So being back outside felt really good honestly and was an excuse to get my steps in for the day and I almost doubled my everyday 6k steps. 


               The Point is I feel really good and today is going to make me feel even a lot better as you know I am going to be back out and about today and the fact, I get away from the studio is a good thing and fresh air really clears my head. Moving forward you will see a very focused and happier Chris. Yes some days I will have my moments but don't we all have moments. I believe that is what you call daily life. Life throws us Lemon, as the saying goes? I have noticed recently been taking more time to myself, getting out and about during the days minus weekends most of the time I am home. However when I am home, I take time to even go for 30 - 40 minute walks and getting out and about. I can be honest I am not one for just sitting around, I have to move around. I am a doer not a sitter so to speak. Also I haven't really been running many errands for CBOTW and I need to get out to run those errands. I haven't had a chance with the editing of the most recent podcasts that has or is going up on the website. I am going to continue to go out and about as it is truly helping and anything to get my mental health back to normal.

What Do I Expect in 2020?

             There is a bunch of things I hope for in 2020 and the New Year is only days away now and I have sometime to start to think about things through and I have honestly have been hiding a lot of things with what is upcoming for CBOTW and been a very sneaky person behind the scenes of one of the 3 podcasts on Chris B On The Web. I will get into some details on January 1st but now is not the time. With the recent staff changes in the recent week and a half, I feel a lot happier with who is on the team right now with the 4 of us involved. So without further ado here is what I expect in 2020:

1) Positivity-  This year has been a year of ups and downs, from two of my former staff turning their back on me which is fine with me. Also problems on the forefront of CBOTW from a Gaming Podcast that was in the plan was once again gone into turmoil and I promise you it is nowhere near in the plans for 2020, I already know what is on the list for 2020 and again you will have to wait till January 1st, 2020 @ 12 pm EST.

2) New Content and Team Members- One amazing thing I look forward to and again will be announcing it all and I really need to revamp that post before but not that only that but I will be adding in, well they already are a part of the CBOTW Family and both days I will be talking about it Jan 1st & Jan 2nd, 2020.

3) Friendships- With losing some friendships this year I want to hopefully find a new friends in 2020 and ones that will not turn on me but also work on the friends I got and I know I can definitely count on them to be there for me moving into the New Year.

4) Self Employment- As you know this month I started self employment for myself and this is officially start to year 0 as I have yet to reach one full year right now but that will come in December 2020 when I hit the full year mark. Either way it is exciting to be self employed and earning money on the website or even on the podcast and honestly I have been anticipating this moment for a very long time now and it has come to full circle and soon we will have a studio that will be suitable to the needs of the team.

5) Studio Renovations- Which brings me into the second last point I would like make on this blog today is the Studio Reno which is getting there and 3 more panels and the walls are fixed finally, then comes the ceiling work where the actual studio recording is going to be to put in the sound proofing and a cover over it so it is not visible but that will be in January sometime and in the New Year I have to get Larry to help me move the rolling desk and the boxes for the space out of here so this way we have more room to work on the end of the room. I hope to be done in February but no guarantees whatsoever. It will be done when it will be done.

6) Keeping My Power Rangers Podcast Return Promise- I know this year hasn't been a great year for this podcast but I am making my promise to you guys there will be 3 of them next year or the New Year coming in a few days from now. Even if we aim for a March record that is fine because I will be ready to go by then by a mile and a half, ha-ha.

There Is A Reason Behind Everything!

            When I do things involving Chris B On The Web, I do it for a specific reason.  Sometimes things do not work out to plan such as yesterday having a nasty fall hitting my head and hurting my shoulder if non of this happened I probably would of had the Survivor Edge of Extinction done but again there is a reason behind everything and I had to take care of myself first to make sure I didn't break anything or end up with a concussion so that had more importance and I do feel bad as I promised I would have it ready a week in a advance but sometimes there is a reason behind things and yesterday I wasn't meant to record the Season 10 premiere. However, yes I know I promised and I discussed it on Twitter this morning when I woke up after a rough sleep and honestly I do know what I was thinking, recording it way in advance, because honestly it probably wouldn't make any sense whatsoever, especially if one point I'm better as I am starting to get better from this cold, to being sick, it would probably confused you. So it works out and planning to actually record that one either Monday or Tuesday of next week as I will have plenty of time before next Friday to posting it up. Another example of there is a reason behind everything is my cold that I am currently fighting I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to record but luckily it was at the end of this week which does help me a lot and gives me plenty of time to rest up and get better and yes I am finally feeling better finally!


            Sometimes things happens like yesterday and with me being sick it wasn't meant to be and yes I realize the show much go on and I probably jumped the gun on preparing for the 10th season as it is a week away and right now I got 3 episodes before the premiere of season 10 goes up for you guys so I think I went warp speed on myself and it is not good on the stress levels, like I have said many times, I have a busy schedule and I just cannot jump the gun. This year is about me listening to my gut and trying to stay on schedule but for me to get ahead of myself, might be the wrong move. Like the title of today's blog post is everything happens for a reason and I just gotta go with the flow of things sometimes.

How I Try and Stay Positive

         I know I have covered and touched base on this subject before and I want to approach this a bit different then usual. As you know the site has been the biggest on going problem for me to getting up and running again and I want to talk about how I am keeping a positive attitude with my site getting on my last nerves. I am trying to keep a positive attitude with the site work starting to drag me down. I need to remain positive and enthusiastic during this process, it is a very, very long process and it will be a long process between now and 2019 as this move to the new provider for right now, it's not permanent. At least as I figure for now. I am trying to remain positive with the IP blocker tool erasing the bans I put on the website and I already notified the provider of the issue, but more then likely I will be moving to the new provider, this is only temporary till end of the year when I start the re-build process begins and move to the permanent home for good. No more problems whatsoever as of January 2019.


           I however am starting to show, more and more patience and positivity. I realize it comes in handy to have, especially with the site taking such a very long time to build again but soon it is coming back with positivity and patience. There is no real reason to stay negative as it will not get you anywhere in life especially.Being positive also is part of being patience, that will help you in the long run as well as well. How do I stay positive? I try to turn the negative into a positive thought or thoughts that will help me. Being negative is not a good thing, just makes the situation harder to stay positive, it just keeps on piling up negative after negative and just makes the situation much more tougher to come out of. So yes turn the negatives into a positive. Also problem solving the situation first so it helps before the negativity comes into play. Also attitude is another part of staying attitude. I know in the last month or so, my attitude towards ChrisBOnTheWeb.com has not been the greatest and attitude comes a long way to staying positive. Good Attitude, positivity and patience are the 3 basic things that keeps me in that positive mind of frame. Also you won't go far with being negative whatsoever, you will not feel motivated and that is how I was for a while, not motivated to get things done.


            I hope this makes somewhat some sense to you guys and helps you understand how I am trying to stay positive and IF you are not being positive try my advice above. Mind you I am not a professional at this topic but hey any advice is good advice I think. Over the last 4 months I have been in a more positive mood as there is stuff to get done. I am now in my happy place, I will talk about that in a different blog post hopefully next week. Thank you for reading today's blog post or any of my posts and have a great rest of your day!.
